Sadly, people will believe this three-year-old, with more whole-heartedness and speed, than they will believe any expert or knowledgeable person on any important social issue.

The Jungle Book is the Disney property I think you were looking for here, not Winnie the Pooh.

Saw an article about this yesterday and apparently its happened before that kids have been lost in the woods and were kept warm/safe by bears. Weird.

From the article i read:

" In 1888, the New York Times reported the disappearance of a 2-year-old girl who was found in a deep valley, where she claimed she had slept by a bear that kept her warm that night.

In 1955, 2-year-old Ida Mae Curtis went missing in Kootenai National Forest in Montana. She was located after enduring two days of pouring rain, and explained that she had been cuddled and comforted by a bear during her time away."

No, honey, it doesn’t. Also, no hunny and it doesn’t either.

Imaginary friends are the best ones.

Honestly I can see why a Sloth Bear probably wouldn’t seem like a particularly fearsome beast to a kid who had been raised by wolves and tutored by a panther.

It’s pretty obvious what happened… It was no bear… It was Bigfoot.
